Keep Your Car Safe

Insurance / Thatcham Approved - Vehicle Trackers

Due to a combination of thieves up their game every year to keep up with the latest advancements, escalating vehicle theft and the very impressive recovery success rate of Thatcham approved trackers, insurance providers are now, even though you may not have ever been asked to in the past, often insisting that you install these particular tracking devices.

What does “Thatcham Approved” mean?

Thatcham Research is an industry accredited non-profit organisation which define and test aftermarket vehicle security units. To receive a receive a Thatcham Security Certification the Tracker will have gone through a stringent and rigorous testing process to assess the effectiveness of the security and safety of the products.

What is an S7 Tracker?

It is an entry-level tracker which is the most common Insurance / Thatcham Approved Vehicle Tracker.

It does not stop the car from being stolen but does track the vehicle’s location 24/7 and this can be viewed by yourself on an App and the monitoring station who monitor the vehicle for you.

Whilst S7 Trackers do not meet the criteria for S5 Trackers, they still provide a good level of security and increases the chances of your vehicle being recovered if stolen.

As of January 2019, Thatcham Category 6 trackers have been replaced with Thatcham Category S7 Trackers.

What is an S5 Tracker?

In addition to all the benefits of the S7 Tracker a requirement of the S5 Thatcham criteria is that the device must be accompanied by a system which is used to verify the driver of the vehicle is an authorised user known as driver recognition this can be in the form of either the D-iD smartphone app or a physical DRST – Driver Recognition Tags card.

If the vehicle is started and without the Driver Recognition Tags being present this would indicate that it is being driven by an authorised person so the monitoring centre will make immediate contact with you via all the contact details they have.

What is an S5 PLUS Tracker?

An S5 PLUS Tracker has all the same features as the standard S5 Tracker category but with the additional security of automatic immobilisation. This means that a person without a Driver ID tag will will not be able to start the vehicle. With Relay or Key Cloning theft on the rise, the S5 PLUS offers even more safety for your vehicle, and gives you peace of mind.
